    We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for chocolate. It’s all culture and marketing.

    We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for coffee. It’s all culture and marketing.

    We have absolutely zero evolutionary need for beer. It’s all culture and marketing.

    You can apply that to virtually anything we consume that isn’t plants or meat.
